Skip A Rope Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Listen to the children 

While they play 

Now ain't it kinda funny 

What the children say 

Skip a rope 

Daddy hates Mommy 

Mommy hates Dad 

Last night you shoulda heard 

The fight they had 

Gave little sister 

Another bad dream 

She woke us all up 

With a terrible scream 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Listen to the children 

While they play 

Now ain't it kinda funny 

What the children say 

Skip a rope 

Cheat on your taxes 

Don't be a fool 

Now what was that they said 

About a golden rule? 

Well, never mind the rules 

Just play to win 

And hate your neighbor 

For the shade of his skin 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Oh, listen to the children 

While they play 

Now ain't it kinda funny 

What the children say 

Skip a rope 

Stab 'em in the back 

That's the name of the game 

And Mommy and Daddy 

Are who's to blame 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Just listen to the children 

While they play 

It's really not funny 

What the children say 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope 

Skip a rope
